PING LEI WEI

Asia University

I am from Hsinchu City, Taiwan, and currently studying Fashion Design at Asia University. I enjoy creating unique accessories such as bags, shoes, and metalwork. I am observant and like to incorporate elements of everyday life into my creations. In addition, I am also a member of a competitive cheerleading team in my daily life.

Trial Of Beauty

Category: Footwear

Competitions: Taiwan Region

This pair of shoes is inspired by competitive cheerleading. In this sport, stunts and lifts are core elements, which is why hands are incorporated as the visual focal point in the shoe's design. However, competitive cheerleading is not only a performance full of passion and beauty—it is also a demanding and high-risk sport. This reality is reflected in the details of the hands featured on the shoe. Covered in scars, these hands symbolize the silent dedication and perseverance behind every athlete’s performance.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
